Yep the shafts had been soldered, and that coursed a bit of smoke after slipping. Never mind it hasent happen alot, I just though Id ask :) since we are promoting all the nice gear.

@ Kent:I think the problem you really have is a little different as I already featured it as well. The problem are not the couplers, the problem is that its almost impossible to get L+R flex shafts which are absolutely identical. Take an exact gauge, in most cases the right hand one is always a little thinner in diameter. With many couplers no big deal if the gap is not too big but it can cause troubles.So maybe check your shafts, it can really help to tin/silver solder just the tip of the shaft which comes into the coupler.@ Chris: Sury, I read all of your emails. Will see what I can do.regards,Manuel

manuel I feel bad for you i wouldn't want to read all of my email as there are a lot of them lol but thank you I appreciate your help As always

Kent I always solder the last 3/4 of an inch of the flex that goes into the collet and never had one come loose the only way I lost a flex was due to breaking somewhere after the collet but that's it

Now, I haven't told you guys that me and Murphy's law are best budies. SO, regardless what you guys do, I will always tell you it happend to me. Not because I'm doing something wrong "of cause" but because Murphy and I have a life lasting friendship!! LOL .....just ask me about that time...nah won't go there LOL

[Chrisg81983]

Um i hear that kent but I thought me and Murphy were best friends lol

[nata2run]

Well, you thought wrong then!
sorry buddy Murphy is mine LOL

[liteumup69]

Liteumup what ru building and ru waiting for lehner as well
yes these couplers are the nicest and truest I ever saw

Im building a HPR135, I have a build thread started, I wanted to run the Lehner 3040"s but I already have a pair of 2215 Nue's, They are old, so I did the trade in
with NEU and I'm waiting on the 2220"s to be made, I shipped out both of the 40-160"s schulze speed controls back to Germany to have more caps put on, So for know just waiting for parts, I think I will start to build my Syncron in the mean time...

Sounds like a nice setup Paul..... 50"+ cats sure are something special

[Chrisg81983]

Paul sounds real cool are you going to start a build thread on i. I was real close to running neu's in my hpr but I was convinced by some to try the lehner. Soon I am going to buy a 135 as well probably for a winter build. Keep me/us posted with progres. Chris g

[Chrisg81983]

Yeah Kent make feel like the guy/ugly duckling here with the not so special cat ( meaning me ) lol 50 + cats run amazing

Chris, dont be sad. I'm sure you will join the "very fast" club :) then after a while you may skip the 50+ and go striaght into the 70+

[Chrisg81983]

Thanks shawn
Kent I had several 50 plus boats they are fun...... For some reason I always wanted a hpr 115

[nata2run]

Hehe, I hear ya with the HPR!! My 114 was great fun, but the 138 its just WOW I really wanted a HPR 135, but it turned out to cost a lot to ship and I got an awsome deal from MHZ. I also think its a bit easier to put together the MHZ hull/hardware (I could be wrong here). I would still would love a HPR 135 "just for the sport of it" maybe one day soon I will. Its a special community for those who own a HPR, so you have definetly made the right choice. Your also gonna have a "pimped" one by the way with all the trimmings!! not just any! Trust me, it wont disapoint!

[Chrisg81983]

Hpr or MHZ both are awesome hulls in my opinion

[jkr]

Well i can say one thing about HPR'S.
Take the hull and put it on a straight bench (from a mill or granite bench).
Then you will undertund what you bought.
